Does thyroid mean hyperthyroidism?

Thyroid

is an important endocrine organ of the human body, located below the thyroid cartilage in the neck and on both sides of the trachea. It has a variety of important functions, such as synthesizing and secreting thyroid hormones, which play a vital role in regulating human growth and metabolism. Hyperthyroidism is the abbreviation of hyperthyroidism, which is caused by excessive release of thyroid hormone by thyroid synthesis, resulting in hypermetabolism and sympathetic excitation of the body, causing palpitations, sweating, eating and stool increase and weight loss. Hyperthyroidism is only a disease state that may occur in the thyroid gland. Other problems may also occur in the thyroid gland, such as thyroiditis, thyroid nodules, thyroid cancer, etc. Thyroid diseases are associated with a variety of factors, including genetic factors, autoimmune abnormalities, environmental factors, mental stress, etc. When suspected thyroid related diseases, a series of examinations, such as thyroid function tests, thyroid ultrasound, thyroid radionuclide scans, etc., are needed to make a definite diagnosis in order to take targeted treatment measures.
